Product description

Beautifully proportioned pots that are wider than they are tall, which lend themselves particularly well to mixed planting schemes. They look especially good when crammed full of seasonal bedding, herbs or alpine plants that are allowed to spill out over their angular sides. The striking shape and classic good looks make them statement pieces that will create beautiful focal points for either the garden or patio. Supplied with drainage holes. Available in two sizes. Finished with a Crocus logo.

We think these classic, unfussy designs work best in an English garden. Although the inspiration came from Tuscany, the pots have been made in Turkey. They are hand thrown (sometimes from 2 pieces of clay for the larger pots) by Argun and his son who are the 3rd and 4th generation of potters from the Izmir region on the Aegean coast. The clay from this area ages to a lovely patina, as the salts slowly leach to the surface.

Each pot is fired to 1080 degrees C to make them as frost resistant as possible. However we would always suggest that, just to be extra safe, in the very cold months that you move empty or full pots into a sheltered spot.These terracotta pots are hand thrown and will vary slightly in height and diameter from batch to batch.
